I feel like a lot of Steves character is warped or exaggerated by fanon (happens to a lot of the characters obvs but still) and one of the ones that kinda make me giggle is the notion that he's Rich Rich and not just middle class in rural indiana like sure they have money that's established but if he were rich they probably wouldn't be living in Hawkins of all places? Also we've seen his house

this is true i think people like to make him into an Idea of a thing instead of the Actual thing bc it's easier to categorise and reduce to easily digestible tropes or something... like he is crazy rich to me because i'm comparatively so dirt poor but he is not actually trust fund kid rich. like they have a NICE house it's not that fancy compared to some other middle class houses the wheeler house alone is pretty big... to me... 4 bedrooms and a huge basement. but then they would have to acknowledge NANCY is also Rich. if not equally so... also i actually hate when people go off of the floor plan of the house they filmed in as if that's how filming locations work at ALL like what we've seen what his house is intended to be In the show he doesn't actually have the all gold appliances kitchen unless they actually decide to show that kitchen that's like. silly.
